A Frisky Spring Equinox and Eclipse

Eclipses, equinoxes and solstices, Mercury retrogrades, and blood moons are astronomical events on a heavenly map that are cyclical and predictable. As modern beings we no longer quiver in our homes if a moon shadow races across the landscape. But, when an astronomical event activates a point in your chart, well, you'll notice - and may quiver, indeed.

Check this out! Since early 2014 Aries, Libra, Capricorn and Cancer have been stage-center undergoing a life overhaul. Last September the eclipse patterns shifted to Virgo and Pisces, dragging them, and their buddies, Sagittarius and Gemini to the spotlight of truth for the next two years.

If you're one of those besieged signs, doesn't simply knowing that information bring relief?

Astrology is a language of energy and archetypes, of mythology and inner landscapes. In the hands of an astrologer, and placed in your very own personal birth chart, potent astronomical events outline your life story. Your soul's mission lights up, and inklings of insights, maybe jaw-dropping clarity, arises - and you know what to do at the fork in the road. That's the magic and usefulness of a personal astrology reading!

Full moons bring feelings and fears to our awareness, and eclipses push us to act on the knowledge. Aries and Libra deal with how we act as individuals and how we operate in relationships. This full moon (Wednesday, March 23, 5:00 AM, PST) is the last eclipse for many years in these signs. It's the graduation of a two-and-a-half years of awakening. What's been going on with you and relationships? Are you graduating with honors? Or just barely? Also, an eclipse nineteen years ago matches up with this one, too. What happened back then? You may see adjustments you've made or you may be called to make some to get your life back on track.

Horoscopes March 23 – April 7
